A Way-place that maintains the Proper Dharma in the world
		The City of Ten Thousand Buddhas has Six Great Principles which are the goals for cultivation. They are: do not fight, do not be greedy, do not seek, do not be selfish, do not pursue personal advantage, and do not lie. These are the basis for being a person, the foundation for cultivation, and the standard for government. The Six Great Principles are six bright paths. If you can remember these six great guidelines, you can become a Buddha and then some. I am speaking these six great guidelines for people who want to become Buddhas, people who want to become Bodhisattvas, and people who want to become Hearers and Arhats. These are the most important principles. If you can put them into practice, you may use them your whole life, but you won't be able to exhaust them! You won't be able to use them up.
						The Venerable Master, who hosted the ordination ceremony, together with the certifying masters and the preceptees.
							If you are able not to fight, not to be greedy, not to seek, not to be selfish, not to pursue personal advantage, and not to lie, then the Proper Dharma will dwell in the world.
